REST ATTACHMENT FOR BARBER-CHAIRS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented New. 25', raie.

Application led March 21, 1919. Serial No'. 284,024.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known thatI, DEXTER W. Einw, citivzen of the United States,residing at' Centerville, in the county of Appanoose and State of Iowa,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rest Attachmentsfor Barber-Chairs, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a rest attachment for barber chairs, and theobject of invention is the construction of a simple and eflicient restor seat device that is preferably attached to the post ofl a barberchair, whereby the barber can be seated conveniently while at work.

With this and other objects in view, my invention comprises certaincombinations and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafterspecifically described and particularly pointed-` out in the appendedclaim, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a device or apparatusconstructed in accordance with the present invention, while Fig. 2 is atop plan view of the structure shown in Fig. 1, showing also thelattachment, by dotted lines, adjusted alongside of the barber chairproper.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on lines 3 3 Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, l designates the post of anordinary barber chair, to which is attached my improved rest device.

My device comprises a vertical standard 2, having a horizontal baseportion 3, to the outer ends of which base portion are suitably securedrubber-covered casters 4.

A T-shaped coupler 5 is secured to the standard or upright 2 near itstop, and suitably attached to the upper end of standard 2 is a seat 6. Ahorizontal primary arm 7 has one end suitably fastened in the coupler 5,and its other end extends into the socket portion 8 of the primary cap9; rivets or pins 10 extend through the socket portion 8 and primary arm7 xedly securing the arm 7 to the cap 9. An auxiliary standard 11is'secured, at its upper end, in the cap 9 and the lower end o'f theauxiliary hollow standard 11 is positioned in the auxiliary cap 12,whichauxiliary cap is provided with a socket portion 8a. The inner endof the auxiliary arm 13 is seated in the socket portion 8, and by meansof pins or rivets 10 this arm 13, like arm 7, is securely fastened tothe auxiliary or hollow cap 12.

A suitable clamp 14 is fixedly attached t0 the outer end of theauxiliary arm 13, whereby my device is detachably secured to the post 1of the chair; the clamp 14 is somewhat loose on the post l so as toallow free movement of my device around the chair, yet retaining saiddevice fastened to the chair by reason of the clamp 14 looselysurrounding the post 1. Engaging the ends of the hollow auxiliarystandard 1l are flexible washers 15 whereby a tight adjustment ispossibi-e with reference to the connection `of the arms 7 and 13 to thestandard'll, and at the same time not permitting any squeaking orrubbing noise to result when the barber is using the device and movingthe same around the chair. A bolt 16 extends through the caps 9 and 12and through the washers 15 and by means of a nut 17 the bolt is securely'fastened in its assembled position, Figs. l and 3.

The washers or llers 15 can be readily replaced when worn, or if agreater number 1s desired they can be added without departing from thespirit and scope of this invention.

By reason of vthis combination, a very ef- Vicient rest device isprovided for barbers,

and one which can be manufactured at a reasonable cost, and which willbe a boon to the trade, permitting al tired barber to rest when ataround the chair, as indicated by the full and dotted line positions(two positions shown) per Fig. 2.

What I claim is:

In a device of the class described', the combination with a post of abarbers chair, a primary standard provided with a seat, a couplersecured to the standard, of a vertical primary cap provided with ahorizontal socket portion, a primary arm having one end in the socketportion of said cap and its other end in said coupler, a verticalauxiliary cap provided with a horizontal socket portion,A a. vertical,hollow, auxiliary standwork and move to any position I caps, iiexibleWashers interposed between vthe ends of said auxiliary standard :md saidcaps and positioned Within the ceps, a bolt extending through said caps,Washers, and said auxiliary standard and detnchably connecting saidelements together, a, clamp on the post of said chair, and an auxiliary:L1-1n secured at one end to seid clamp and having its other end securedin' said horizon- 10 tnl'socket portion of the auxiliary ca In testimonywhereof I hereunto a x my signature.
